Forum rules

Once an issue has been solved or a satisfactory conclusion has been achieved (by discussion or an administrator decision) threads will be locked to prevent them being bumped.

Do not expect that your suggestion will be implemented regardless of how good you think your idea it is. There are many factors as to why something may be dismissed. The thread will have been locked for good reason, and your thread should serve as a reminder to others that the suggestion has already been made and implemented or dismissed.

I notice that activity on these boards can be a little slow at times, I took a long hiatus for this reason pretty much. I've not found any other forum community quite like this one, and its a shame to see it dwindle.

I propose a partial solution. We increase our social media presence. I notice that I follow the LoR on Facebook and Twitter, but I haven't seen anything posted for a long while. I can't always promise that I'd have the time to do so, but I would happily take on a role of sharing interesting articles on social media etc. My job at the moment certainly gives me a lot of spare time in the day to do things like that (serving customers on a golf course in winter doesn't rush me off my feet). Perhaps HWIN could post the weekly links there and stuff also? Or I could do it on their behalf.

If we all liked the page and shared it's content with our friends it might go a long way to regenerating interest in these forums. As I say I definitely would be up for volunteering a hand. I'm not sure about the moderating comments and stuff like that, but I'd definitely be okay sharing posts and linking to these forums to get people to discuss things.
